Another week, another NCBD. It’s no surprise here, that Absolute Batman #19 is the biggest book this week (as can be seen in our Most Wanted on Monday). No less than 54 different covers for this issue! Absolute craziness? Our content managers might even have to be send to Arkham Asylum after adding this many into Core. Don’t think we’re done yet. Image releasing their new series: Fireborn. A bit of a smaller week for Marvel… Here are a few books that were handpicked by our content managers:
Radiant Black #41 Are you caught up with this series? I sure am! Horizon is Chicago’s hero. Radiant Black needs Shift’s help to sneak into a lab that’s withholding secrets. Will they succeed?
Absolute Batman #19. This issue brings us the introduction of Slade Wilson, Scarecrow and the Robins within the Absolute universe. This should definitely be a solid after we know what were getting next issue.
Cheers, mate! After a bit of waiting, we’re back with a new issue of Redcoat #17. This should be a nice set up for what’s to come. I’m especially fond the Kyle Hotz cover!
All comics releasing this week can be found in the NCBD tab in your add comics screen. All new releases have been carefully cleaned up, with lots of info added! Be sure to check them out in the app. Either when you hit your comic shop or, when back home adding your stack you’ve just come home with!
Happy reading!
